Time to Play!

You see, most websites out there will tell you to play games such as chess, solitaire, etc.

But those are just games!

If they can relieve stress, great! But that's not what they're meant for...

These games below will help you relieve your stress. So that has to mean fun also!

Punch The Pillow!

Time to become a kid again. You can play this stress management game with a friend or even by yourself. What do you do?

Grab a pillow that you don't use. Then, think of what stresses you out. Whether it be a person or a thing, just pretend that the pillow is your stress.

Then...start punching! Think of it as "punching away your stress".

If you're with a friend, see who can punch the hardest, or the fastest (or longest!).

Hahaha - Laugh It Up!

Hmm? So what's this game about?

Find a friend who's seems to be happy most of the time.

With that friend, start brainstorming what stresses both of you out. Tell him/her what causes you stress, and ask them to tell you their stress.

Even a happy person gets stressed out!

Then think, "Would I rather have his/her stress, rather than my stress?". In other words, who would you rather be?

If you'd rather be your friend, ask him/her how they handle their stress. After all, they seem to be really happy, right?

If you'd rather be you, you shouldn't even be stressing out in the first place!

This tip is great for putting things in perspective.

Toss The Boss!

Is work stressing you out? More particularly, is your boss causing you stress? Well there's a solution for you...

This game is more fun with a friend from work.

Try to each draw a goofy picture of your boss from when you last saw him/her, without looking at each other's paper.

Then, compare your drawings. If your friend's picture is goofier, try to draw a goofier one.

When you're done, keep the pictures. It'll put you in a good mood every time your boss gets on your nerves.

You'll like the next game if you enjoy being silly...
